a small workflow request: could you please start adding append-only 
commits to that tree, if possible? For example right now as it looks the 
kmemcheck tree says:

 commit 385e31b9eae0528bada07d16a189f3f40df23961
 Author: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@...il.com>
 Date:   Fri Apr 4 00:51:41 2008 +0200

     kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core

i had to look around for a few minutes to make sure i got the right 
branch until i realized that "Apr 4" is not the correct date - this 
commit got updated by you just today.

it would be much better if you stopped rebasing kmemcheck from now on, 
and did append-only updates only - that way i could pick up your updates 
into tip/kmemcheck by doing pulls. It does not matter if the result 
looks a bit messier - most of the fundamentals should be in place 
already.
